  <Tab title="🚀 Quickstart">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create an integration">
        In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> _Configure New Integration_ -> _OneDrive Personal_. Nango doesn't provide a test OAuth app for OneDrive Personal yet. You’ll need to set up your own by following these [instructions](#🧑%E2%80%8D💻-oauth-app-setup). After that, make sure to add the OAuth client ID, secret, and scopes in the integration settings in Nango.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Authorize OneDrive">
        Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> _Add Test Connection_ -> _Authorize_, then log in to your OneDrive Personal account. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Call the OneDrive API">
        Let's make your first request to the OneDrive API (get drive information). Replace the placeholders below with your [secret key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):
        <Tabs>
            <Tab title="cURL">
                ```bash
                curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/v1.0/drive" \
                  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
                  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
                  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
                ```
            </Tab>

            <Tab title="Node">

            Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

            ```typescript
            import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

            const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

            const res = await nango.get({
                endpoint: '/v1.0/drive',
                providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
                connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
            });

            console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data, null, 2));
            ```
            </Tab>

        </Tabs>

        Or fetch credentials dynamically via the [Node SDK](/reference/sdks/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/reference/api/connection/get).

      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.

  <Tab title="🧑‍💻 OAuth app setup">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create a Microsoft account and Azure account">
        If you don't already have them, sign up for a [Microsoft account](https://account.microsoft.com/account) and an [Azure account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free).
      </Step>
      <Step title="Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID">
        1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least an Application Developer.
        2. If you have access to multiple tenants, use the Settings icon in the top menu to switch to the tenant in which you want to register the application.
        3. From the search bar at the top of the Azure portal, search for **App registrations** and select it. Then choose **New registration**. Or from your left navigation tab, navigate to **Applications** > **App registrations** then choose **New registration**.
        4. Enter a meaningful name for your application, for example "Nango Integration".
        5. Under **Supported account types**, select the appropriate option based on your needs:
           - **Personal Microsoft accounts only** - For apps that only need to access OneDrive Personal accounts.
           - **Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts** - For multitenant apps that support both organizational and personal Microsoft accounts.
        6. Leave the **Redirect URI** section blank for now; we'll configure it in a later step.
        7. Click **Register** to complete the app registration.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Note your application (client) ID">
        After registration, you'll be taken to the application's Overview page. Record the **Application (client) ID**, which uniquely identifies your application and is used in your application's code as part of validating security tokens.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Add a redirect URI">
        1. In the left sidebar, select **Authentication**.
        2. Under **Platform configurations**, select **Add a platform**.
        3. Select **Web** as the platform type.
        4. Enter `https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback` as the Redirect URI.
        5. Under **Implicit grant and hybrid flows**, check the boxes for **Access tokens** and **ID tokens** if your application needs them.
        6. Under **Advanced settings**, set **Allow public client flows** to **No** for web applications.
        7. Click **Configure** to save your changes.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Create a client secret">
        1. In the left sidebar, select **Certificates & secrets**.
        2. Under **Client secrets**, click **New client secret**.
        3. Enter a description for the secret and select an expiration period (6 months, 12 months, 24 months, or custom).
        4. Click **Add**.
        5. **Important**: Copy the secret value immediately and store it securely. You won't be able to see it again after you leave this page.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Next">
        Follow the [_Quickstart_](/getting-started/quickstart).
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ## Common Scopes

    | `OneDrive.ReadWrite` | Read and write the signed-in user's OneDrive files |
    | `OneDrive.AppFolder` | Read and write files in the application's special OneDrive folder |
    | `offline_access` | Access to refresh tokens for offline access |

    ## Complete Integration Implementation

    For a complete, production-ready implementation of OneDrive Personal integration with Nango, check out the **[Nango Sample App](/getting-started/sample-app)**.

    The sample app provides:
    - Full OAuth flow implementation

  <Tab title="🚨 API gotchas">
    - Make sure you request the `offline_access` scope to get a refresh token and keep access with your integration.
    - OneDrive Personal uses `https://api.onedrive.com` as its base URL for API calls.
    - If you need a user to reauthenticate or accept updated scopes, you can force a prompt using the `authorization_params`. Use `prompt=login` to force the user to enter their credentials (bypassing single sign-on) or `prompt=consent` to trigger the OAuth consent dialog after sign-in, which asks the user to grant permissions to the app. For more details, see [Microsoft's OAuth 2.0 authorization documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/v2-oauth2-auth-code-flow#request-an-authorization-code).

    ```typescript
    const { data } = await nango.createConnectSession({
      [...],
      integrations_config_defaults: {
        "one-drive-personal": {
          authorization_params: {
            "prompt": "consent" // or "login" depending on your needs
          }
        }
      }
    });
    ```
